back in the day? Robin was the one to read if you loved Mac's. These days? I abandoned my Mac for a PC, something that could actually work when using programs like Turbo Tax and that boring stuff. I never made it to System X, which looked like a Mac version of Windows. Mac people in the 90's were like religious fanatics. Now I use iTunes and think its absurd to update it you have to download 150MB files including Quicktime. hey Apple ever heard of a patch? anyway, the one truly great game I ever played was Bubble Trouble which I still play [I donated an iMac to the breakroom at work]. I still love that game. Mac ONLY!!!

anyway this is rambling haha

I have to use Windows for work but need this for classes in graphic design software. It was a textbook for a prerequisite and is easy to understand. It has been years since I used Macs despite liking them.

Clearly written but very, very basic. Really only for someone who has little exposure to computers.
